Nissan Goes Full Woke: Sunderland Plant to Build Commie Cars?
Get ready for your Qashqai to be built by the ChiComs as Nissan sells out to the CCP.

So, Nissan's Sunderland plant, right? The one that's supposed to be churning out good ol' British-ish motors? Turns out they're thinking about building cars for Chery, some Chinese outfit. Yeah, you heard that right. The same China that's been stealing our intellectual property, flooding the market with cheap crap, and generally being a geopolitical pain in the ass.
Our glorious leader, CEO Ivan Espinosa, says they're "looking at options" because, you know, demand is down. Apparently, building cars people actually want to buy is too hard. So, instead, they're gonna become a glorified subcontractor for the Red Menace. Sounds like a solid business plan. NOT.
This isn't just a Nissan thing, either. Ford's cozying up to Geely, and Stellantis (Fiat, Peugeot, Vauxhall – the whole European gang) is building cars for Leapmotor. Even BYD, the biggest EV maker in the world (thanks to Chinese government subsidies, of course), is sniffing around for underused factories. It's like watching a slow-motion corporate suicide pact.
What happened to good ol' fashioned competition? Remember when companies actually tried to build better cars, instead of begging for handouts or selling out to the highest bidder? Now it's all about ESG scores, virtue signaling, and chasing the almighty Yuan. Patriotism is dead, baby. Bury it.
Espinosa says the Sunderland plant is "viable," but it needs more volume. So, the solution is to let the Chinese in? Genius! It's like inviting the fox into the henhouse and expecting him to help you gather eggs. Spoiler alert: He's gonna eat the chickens.
Meanwhile, Nissan lost ¥533 billion (£2.5 billion) last year. Operating profits are down. And the answer is... more China? Maybe they should try building cars people want to buy, instead of virtue signaling electric vehicles that no one can afford or that can't get you from point A to point B.
Remember the good old days when "Made in China" meant cheap plastic toys that broke after five minutes? Now, they're building (or having built for them) cars that are flooding the European market. And our brilliant business leaders are just rolling over and playing dead.
The real problem isn't just Nissan, it's the whole globalist, woke agenda that's destroying Western economies. They prioritize everything but profit, quality, and national interest. And now, we're paying the price.
